View from the outdoor deck
Cheryl F.

Here for our 23rd anniversary and it couldn't be more perfect. We stayed in the suite and have a beautiful room that is spotless and decorated with an eye to detail from the little handmade bed doll to the comfy overstuffed chair! Breakfast was a pure pleasure with friendly people to chat with and Bob the consummate host by sparking conversation between guests. The view from the deck is so tranquil and pretty. Morning Glory bed and breakfast is situated within walking distance of everything.

Morning Glory B&B Wow!!! Wish we could have stayed here longer. Our accommodations were amazing!! We had the Sarah Good suite with is basically the whole top floor and rooftop deck. Bob does a great job with decorating, cleanliness and comfort. Everything we could want, this place had. Even wine glasses in the room and waters in the fridge. Can't speak to the breakfast as we are not early risers. The view from the rooftop is really nice. Also within easy walking distance to many nice eating options.

French toast filled with strawberry spread with fresh fruit on the side, heavenly!

This is the best place to stay in Salem. It is a delightful, cozy, romantic B&B situated in the heart of historic Salem, right across the street from the House of Seven Gables and Ye Olde Pepper Candy store (great place for chocolate!). We felt so comfortable at this place that we didn't want to leave! Our room had a deck with a table and chairs from which we could see Salem Harbor, absolutely lovely! The bed was very comfortable, we had great sleeps in it. Now for the best part, breakfast! Bob prepares the most delicious, scrumptious breakfasts around. The best was his french toast with some kind of raspberry cream cheese spread in the center of the toast, words can't describe how good it was! I've never had anything like it anywhere else. The cheese bread and the fantastic assortment of tea are also delights, the perfect way to start the day! Bob is the perfect host, helpful, informative, and very professional. We are already looking forward to our next visit. We highly recommend this B&B, perfect in every way!

Staying at the Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast in Salem made our trip extra special. The house is located about a five minute walk from the downtown area. It was close enough to not need our car at all, but far enough away so that there was no traffic noise or busy streets. Bob and Marcel keep an AMAZING b&b, everything was colorful and bright, while being spotless clean and welcoming. For 4 ladies, we reserved one single room (for Mom) and took the "Sarah Goode" suite which was the entire top floor, with one king bedroom and a sitting room with a pullout couch. Our top floor suite had its own private entrance via the rooftop patio. (oooooooo) The patio provided us with wonderful views of the ocean, an awesome breeze when it was too hot to move, and lounge chairs and tables for sunning and wining. Each floor of the b&b, including ours, provided us with a mini-fridge, microwave, and a Kurig machine, with plenty of clean mugs, and wine glasses!!! Breakfast was every morning from 8-10, at a lovely set table with traditional Boston breakfast. The Morning Glory was directly next door to the House of the Seven Gables, where we were able to tour the property. It was also super close to The Bunghole Liquors (we got a kick out of this one, as well as plenty of vacation booze), In A Pigs Eye Restaurant and Bar, and also The Witches Brew Restaurant. These are much more local spots than they are for the tourists, perfect for us. We adored our stay with Bob and Marcel at the Morning Glory, and we will SURE to be back for our next visit!!!

Morning Glory is a great bed & breakfast in Salem. They have excellent rates, an outstanding location and wonderful rooms. Bob (the proprietor) is very nice and friendly and even picked us up from the commuter rail station when we got in to Salem. The rooms are very nice and they do have a no TV past 10pm policy which is nice (even though I usually watch TV until 1 or 2, it's a good considerate policy). They have an amazing top deck that would be lovely for breakfast during the summer. The breakfast was very good with some great muffins and bread and wonderful service. We'll definitely by back when we visit Salem again!

Wow! Best Bed & Breakfast EVER! If you are visiting Salem, Massachusetts - I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful B&B right next to the historic House of the Seven Gables. Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast is now open - and Bob is the most wonderful host. I spent my birthday here - and Bob went out of his way to make the occasion as special as possible. This is the only place I will ever stay in Salem in the future. Extremely clean rooms, incredibly delicious breakfasts, fantastic location and great amenities.

Spent two nights at the Morning Glory while visiting Salem for my daughters birthday. We looked at other places online and this was my daughter's choice. The place is old fashioned and quaint,our room took us back to another time. This place really gets you in the mood to take on Salem. Our room was immaculately clean and had all the amenities you would need for a comfortable stay. You can view the Harbor at the bottom of the street and The famous House of The Seven Gables is located across the street from the B&B, at the top of the street you have the Oldest Candy Store in America. The B&B is close to the town center and five minute walk to Jaho Coffee. Bob and Willow were great host and very accommodating. My daughter and I enjoyed a couple of good conversations with Bob over breakfast, as we enjoyed raspberry, cream cheese, stuffed French toast and fresh fruit, that was day 1 and crepes the second day. All in all the accommodations were wonderful as was Salem. We had a great and memorable trip. Places I recommend in Salem: Trolley tour: Good to do first thing when it's not busy and also help you get your bearing in Salem; you can go on as many times you want the day you buy your ticket. Witch dungeon tour. I would give this one a pass, they really just need to redo this exhibit :-( Must do!!! tour the House of the Seven Gables, really enjoyed this one. Restaurants: Turner's Seafood: I had the stuffed lobster and it was awesome. Finz seafood: Had lunch here, it was excellent and the prices are reasonable for lunch. Passage to India: I have to say this was some of the best Indian food I have ever eaten.

What can I say Bob is an amazing person! His bed and breakfast is the best I have been to! I love this house... Great service, great food! Wonderful room... I will go back!

Bob surprise me with a bottle of wine for my birthday :)

I came for my birthday and I love it here. Bob has been such a great hostess and so kind. The day of my birthday my friend and I went touring and when we came back to the room I seen the bear he puts on the bed with a happy birthday sign and a bottle of my favorite wine . I don't know how he Riesling was my favorite but it was the sweetest gesture. The rooms are so clean , he is on top of everything being clean and his breakfast is great especially his cheese bread. I love it here I wouldn't go to any other place to stay in salem .

We LOVE this place!!!!! The first word that comes to mind is perfect. Absolutely Perfect location, right next door to The House of the Seven Gables. Perfect Room we stayed in the Elizabeth Howe room . Perfect bedding and bed. So comfy!!! And I'm picky!! Delicious Breakfast. Beautiful view. Cute witches to purchase made by Bob's mom. Thank you thank you thank you Bob so much for your wonderful hospitality. You are a gem and so is your B&B. We can't wait to come back and next time hope to stay longer. Thanks for introducing us to sweet Willow.

Absolutely loved staying at this Bed and Breakfast! Everything from the flower boxes on the windows, to the creaky wooden stairs, and vintage rooms add to the charm of this place! It's conveniently located about a minute away from the harbor and right next to the House of Seven Gables! It's walkable to downtown Salem and nearby coffee shops and restaurants. Bob the innkeeper, and his dog Willow were wonderful hosts. Bob cooked delicious stuffed French toast and caramelized apple and bannana filled crepes in the morning. He was even sweet enough to get me some almond milk after I mentioned I couldn't drink regular milk! Breakfast felt like a tea party with the vintage tea cups and plates. Bob keeps his place spotlessly clean and so nicely decorated. I'd love to stay in the 3rd floor room next time to enjoy the rooftop deck and views of the harbor! I can't wait to go back to this magical town and stay at this precious B&B.

Our close family friend's son was to be married on August 29th. My daughter was to come up for the wedding events, and join me and my wife on Friday, August 28th and stay until Sunday morning, August 30th. 2. The wedding party made arrangements to events at the Salem Waterfront Hotel during the above referenced dates, and I first tried to get a room there, but they were sold out on that Friday night. 3. Now without a hotel solution, I looked on Hotels.com, found The Merchant Hotel, and made a reservation for a 2-night stay on June 13/14th, for August 28th, departing on August 30th. 4. In early July, my daughter informed me that she will not be able to attend the wedding, thereby negating the need for a room at The Merchant Hotel. 5. I immediately called The Merchant and I was instructed to call Hotels.com to cancel the reservation. I called Hotels.com and explained the situation to the representative and she said she had to call The Merchant to get approval. After a 10-minute wait, she came back and said she was not able to reach The Merchant, but assured me that this should not be a problem. 6. On August 28th, and looking for a cancellation from either Hotels.com or The Merchant, I called The Merchant directly. I spoke with a receptionist, explained my reason for calling, and she said she would forward my message to hotel management. On August 28th, I received this message from The Merchant: Hi Jeff, My name is Kaleigh and I am one of the Manager's here at The Merchant. I am reaching out as we have some notes here from our front desk staff noting that you have reached out to Expedia to cancel your booking. It looks as though the booking is still active in our system though. If you'd like we can reach out to them about cancelling your booking to help get this situated for you. Please let us know how we can help. 7. Appreciative of her quick response, I wrote back with: Omg YES Kayleigh! I did this almost a month ago, and THEY were the ones that said The Merchant had to approve it, ironically. They said it would very likely it would no problem that YOU would approve the refund because it was so far away from the stay. Soon after, I received another message from The Merchant: Hi Jeff, we have spoken on the phone yesterday and I had informed you we do not need to confirm the cancellation, we would need to confirm the refund which we cannot do as it is against our policy. If you would like to cancel the booking you need to call hotels.com/expedia and get them to do so. 8. I called Hotels.com again, and they again kicked the can down the road and referred me to The Merchant to make the cancellation and get reimbursed. 9. On the wedding day, I visited The Merchant to hopefully resolve this issue. I was greeted by the receptionist, and she called for the manager. I believe this was Kaleigh, and she escorted me outside so we could chat. I felt like I was being looked at like an unstable customer, but I understood why she did that, so good on her for anticipating a possible situation, but I had no intention of being unruly. 10. Within a day or two, I received this message, basically telling me, "too-bad, so-sad". I was very careful to make the correct reservation on the correct dates. I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone that the Hotel.com website is terrible because it DOES NOT retain prior choices a user makes while making a reservation. I was very careful to ensure I WAS NOT making a non-refundable hotel reservation, and this fell on the unsympathetic ears of The Merchant's Management. I asked to cancel my reservation MORE THAN A MONTH prior to check-in. The Merchant's decision to deny reimbursement under these circumstances, with more than enough time to rebook the room, is simply just bad-business, and borders unethical. In the meantime, The Merchant Hotel is $1,500+ richer, for a 2-night stay that wasn't realized.

It's a neat historic hotel with a GREAT location. We had 5 in our group with a double queen room…read moreand they brought up the roll bed and extra towels before we had barely opened the suitcases. The room was nice, no complaints. I loved the lemonade in the lobby. Bonus: free parking. Here's the kicker... I accidentally made the reservation for the day prior, so we didn't have one when we got there (we were on a 10 night trip in 5 different hotels so things got scrambled). To make a long story short they found us a mostly comparable room and credited the charges for the previous vacant night. That's pretty amazing and basically saved this working-class family's vacation from being a downer.

The individual working the nighttime shift was consistently rude, harsh, and unprofessional in the way they interacted with guests. I witnessed them speaking loudly, yelling at people, and using inappropriate language. Their overall demeanor made the environment uncomfortable and did not reflect the level of customer service I would expect from this establishment. I had originally planned to return this May because we enjoyed our previous stay so much. However, I was disappointed to discover that this individual is still working there. When I called to ask about room availability and rates for weekends in May, the conversation was extremely frustrating. I asked whether the property was booked every weekend in May. I was asked which dates, and I explained that I was interested in the weekends throughout May rather than one specific date. I was told that they could not look at the entire month at once. I explained that I understood and was simply asking about the weekends in May. I had also just been on the website, which instructed me to call to check availability. Instead of assisting me, the employee became increasingly short with me and repeatedly demanded specific dates in a raised voice. I finally said, "Well, you're a lot of help, aren't you?" The response was, "Yeah," followed by the employee hanging up on me. I understand that employees may be busy and that availability inquiries can take time, but there is no reason for a guest to be spoken to in that manner. Hanging up on a potential returning customer was particularly disappointing. I had every intention of coming back because of how much my family enjoyed our stay in 2024. Unfortunately, this interaction has made me reconsider returning. I hope management will take this feedback seriously and address the customer-service concerns surrounding the nighttime employee.
